"Trust and friendship is important for sustainable peace between India and Pakistan," 60-year-old Satyarthi told reporters here on the eve of annual award ceremony.

"For me, relationship between people of India and Pakistan is more important than the talks between the two Prime Ministers," said Satyarthi, who shares this year's Nobel Peace Prize with 17-year-old Malala. He said he will try in India and Pakistan and even in other countries how the youth and children can together walk on the path of peace.

"Because, peace is not something which can be negotiated on the tables and made sustainable, neither it is something which can be taught in temples and mosques. Peace is every child's human and fundamental right," he said.

"Our youth should also realise that with respect, with freedom, with good education and with peace we want to live our lives. And if there comes any obstacle in this path, the youth from India and Pakistan will strengthen the fight for peace under the leadership of our daughters like Malala."
